The Colt Python 357Mag 2.5" stainless steel revolver with Altamont grips brings back one of the most storied wheelguns in American shooting history. This isn't a safe-queen collectible—it's a compact, shootable Python built on modern stainless steel that handles both .357 Magnum and .38 Special rounds. The 2.5" barrel makes it nimble enough for concealed carry or backup duty without sacrificing the lockup and craftsmanship Colt Pythons are known for. If you've ever wanted a Python that fits a duty holster or deep carry rig, this short-barrel variant is the answer.
The stainless construction with semi-bright finish keeps weight reasonable at 39 oz while the re-designed rear sight gets 30% more steel backing for durability and a more solid shooting platform. The interchangeable front sight (red ramp) and adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation give you real precision potential despite the compact format. Double and single-action trigger work ranges from 7 to 9.5 lbs in double-action mode—smooth enough for accurate shooting, heavy enough to inspire confidence in carry.
Altamont American walnut grips with the iconic Colt silver medallion replace the factory stocks, adding classic aesthetics without sacrificing ergonomics or pointability. This is a Python you'll actually use, whether at the range, in the field, or as a capable defensive revolver. Note: Shooter's Model items may arrive with minor finish imperfections from manufacturing that do not affect function and are typically invisible without magnification.
